    Motorcycles - First time buyer/rider

    Yo SM. I've wanted a motorcycle for years. I finally have some extra cash (No mortgage, no car payment and no kids yet. Ain't life grand? :D ) and I think it's time I indulge in this desire. This fall/winter/spring I'm planning on taking a class, getting some good safety/riding gear and a...

    Best battery to buy?

    Die hard platinum. I run the biggest battery Sears had in stock. Waaaayy more cca than the factory battery. It's the same thing as the optimas, but in a more classy, less ricey package. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

    New paint and ccw pics

    So sexy it hurts! Very impressive. That's always been a favorite bumper of mine and the skirts and rear add ons give it a great flow. Well done, sir. Paint that dark grey/black with a red flake, add the slightly taller 89+ wing that somebody made(can't remember brand for the life of me) and get...

    Headgasket

    Get a Toyota Headgasket, exhaust manifold, turbo inlet and outlet gasket. Then you can use one of the cheap gasket sets like the one you just posted. Dont know why I'm still posting in this thread. It's like yelling in a soundproof room...

    Headgasket

    Metal Head Gasket? So you are taking the entire motor out? You're going to have the block machined by a shop so you can use the MHG? Did you read my first response? I dont think you did... Just to be 100% clear: MHG requires machine work on the block. If you are just taking off the head you...

    Headgasket

    That will be fine, but only if you pull the motor to have the block machined. If you dont want to pull the motor, gotta use factory, composite hg. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

    Off to a bad start!

    First, welcome. :) Now a few issues: 1. How much oil is present? If its low, you may have killed the bottom end (bottom end might have been dead anyways, the redline cruise just brought it to an end quicker). If the bottom end is toast, that means a rebuild. Might as well do everything. It can...

    how to make your turbo spool sooner/quicker

    Electronic boost controllers that can hold the wastegate closed until a select-able pressure most certainly DO affect spool. The stock wastegate opens progressively, opening fully at full boost. But the spring will open partially at less than full boost. That equates to lost power and a slower...

    how to make your turbo spool sooner/quicker

    Agreed the new, tighter spring combined with exhaust and intake can make the car a whole new beast. Is the small gain from an E-boost controller worth the $200-400? Eh, even I'm not sure.

    how to make your turbo spool sooner/quicker

    A stiffer spring will help, but its still a linear spring that starts to open early. You may lessen the problem, but its still there. Most electronic boost controllers are a basic pid controller. A properly set up pid style boost controller can almost entirely eliminate the unnecessary boost...

    Question on JDM front lip-

    Might be a good excuse to get familiar with fiberglass. I bet it'd be easy to make a simple tunnel that clips to the lip. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

    Anyone have the part number for a GTE Engine harness

    I'm trying to figure out how to go about renewing my entire harness. So far, it's looking extremely pricey to make my own from scrap with all the right colors. I'm debating getting wire in bulk and offering to make harnesses. It'd be pricey as hell though... I'd have to sell them for $500+ for...

    The Fruition of Obsession -- 310,000 mile makeover --

    Depends on the size of your adapter. Mine is 85mm I think. Part number is 500-A021. I'd measure yours to be sure what size you need.

    Yeah, I'm being lazy. I got the actual boards made for each gauge, just need to install them in the actual dash. Right now everything is still installed in the demo dash. SHould take just one solid night of work, but I haven't found the time.

    Mini-update. I guess more of a timestamp just to give myself something to look back at. Got a new, very, very overdue air filter today from Apexi. :) Old: New: Engine bay as it stands now. Power Steering will be moved this winter. I'd like to move the accessories on the sides as well...

    Bummer. Thanks for the info, Jeff!

    Update us if it includes the ducts. If so, I'll place an order. :)

    Will my system be able to handle running 6 55w HID's at the same time?

    Why would you ever need all 6 on at once? That seems like incredible overkill. Are you lighting a crime scene? I imagine you'd barely even notice the fogs on with the lo beams and high beams on as well. Why not do it with a bi-xenon setup and use the ONE projector for your headlights both Hi...

    2012 Calendar Submissions

    I can't help but laugh at all this banter over something we should all be excited about, lol. Bri7man, sounds like you would put together an all-star calendar if you wanted. Great! Put one together and charge accordingly to make a profit. Being a student, I'm sure you could use some extra...

    Question on JDM front lip-

    Just so you're aware, I'm 90% sure the hpf lip doesn't include the duct. I know you said you don't care about them, but their description is misleading. If that actually includes the ducts my jaw would be on the floor. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
